Thousands of Berliners are facing power outages until Thursday after a left-extreme anarchist triggered a bomb attack on power cables in the German capital.

Around 45,000 households and 2,000 firms were left in the dark – and many without heat – on a snowy Saturday night after a collective calling itself ‘Volcano Group’ claimed responsibility for the attack near a gas power station.

The group, also linked to a 2024 attack on the Tesla plant near Berlin, said the latest intervention was an “act of resistance” against the ongoing “greed for energy ... that is sucking dry, burning, maltreating, raping” the planet.

Berlin’s governing mayor Kai Wegner said “protection of critical infrastructure was of the highest priority” and that all was being done “to restore energy as quickly as possible”.

Economics and energy minister Franziska Giffey conceded the repair work was “complex” and, after recent snowfall, “complicated further by the bad weather and ground frost”.

On Sunday morning Berlin’s electricity authority restored power to 7,000 households and 150 firms but, with five high-tension cables damaged, it will be Thursday before normal service is restored.

As well as homes and businesses, the power outage hit traffic lights and the outer arms of the electric S-Bahn suburban rail service, requiring replacement bus services.

In a lengthy letter claiming responsibility, the ‘Volcano Group’ said the attack was a pushback against “our addiction to small devices with “We gobble up the colourful pictures ... and are losing contact with what seems normal to us,” it wrote. “We are fearful of what is happening, burying ourselves deeper into screens.”

German antiterrorism authorities describe the Volcano Group as a left-extremist terrorist group and were studying a note on Sunday considered to be of “credible” authenticity.

Within hours of Saturday’s blackout, emergency centres were set up across the Steglitz and Zehlendorf in town, community and sport halls, run by the local fire brigade, churches and the German Red Cross. Some visitors stayed for an hour, for soup and to charge their smartphones.

“It’s only times like this you realise how dependent you are on your phone,” said Miriam, a mother of two. “We had no mobile data, no maps, couldn’t charge our phones and were really left to our own devices.”

Her husband Matthias said their neighbours were unable to get into their home.

“They have everything in a smart home network so not even the window shutters are working,” he said.

Elderly couple Birgit and Horst visited the Red Cross emergency facility in the Cole Sports Centre to warm up but decided to stay the night.

“I hadn’t thought of doing that but they have camp beds and it was so terribly cold in our house,” said Birgit. “I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life.”

Given the stuff about screen addiction, I could maybe buy some kind of anarchist leanings. But they also mix in the eco-commie language, and even in their own narrative smart phone charging is a rounding error, not to mention the fact that it's the same message their entire government is behind.

Are these the same kind of "anarchists" that spend their time reporting your mean Reddit posts to the German Anti Huwite Male Supremist Extremo force for arrest?

One visitor commented: "I normally put my phone away when I'm home, and didn't even realize it was down to 3%. So after the outage, I got a full charge, spent the hour going through my notifications, and downloaded a cool new tower game to play when I get home. Thanks Volcanus Group!"
 
It’s horrifying how so many Germans unironically support giving themselves the Morgenthau plan treatment.
 
An obvious Russian false flag. What Germany needs to do is enforce equity and make sure their police and intelligence services have at least 60% women.
A woman's intuition is never wrong, as their judgment isn't clouded by scrote ego. Just look at the voting patterns; we'd have achieved world peace by now if we disenfranchised moids.
 
>be berliner
>vote left all your life
>live in leftist brown paradise
>your comrades firebomb powercables
>thank them for their resistance as anything else would be considered fascist right wing

„Action for the common good“: Left-wing extremist volcano group claims responsibility for arson attack on electricity supply in Berlin
Tagesspiegel (archive.ph)

In a letter claiming responsibility, the left-wing extremist volcano group claimed responsibility for the arson attack on cables at the Lichterfelde power plant. Tens of thousands of households in southwest Berlin have therefore been without electricity and heating since Saturday morning. The group described the attack as a „public good-oriented action“. According to information from Tagesspiegel, the State Security Service of the State Criminal Police Office considers the letter to be genuine and has taken over the investigation. The investigation team „tension“ was founded there specifically.

Berlin's Governing Mayor Kai Wegner (CDU) said on Sunday that the arson attack on the power grid was clearly carried out by left-wing extremists. The authorities investigated at full speed. „We're increasing the pressure of persecution“, Wegner said. This also happened after the attack on the power grid in Treptow in September.

„We will place a high priority on the pressure of persecution here. We want to take these perpetrators“, said Wegner. But he warned against too high expectations: „The whole thing happened yesterday morning. We have a supposed letter of confession. This needs to be looked at carefully now.“ The Senate President spoke „very deliberately“ of „blatantly left-wing extremist crimes“. But that would have to be examined again carefully.

BKA and the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution entrusted with investigation
Interior Senator Iris Spranger (SPD) said that the State Criminal Police Office and the State Security Service responsible for political crimes had found traces – also thanks to the snow. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) is also involved in the investigation. The Berlin Office for the Protection of the Constitution was immediately put into service after the attack. „We do everything in our structures to locate these perpetrators“ said Spranger.

„We successfully sabotaged the gas-fired power plant in Berlin-Lichterfelde last night“, says the letter claiming responsibility, which has been available to the police since Saturday and was published on a relevant website on Sunday. „The attack on the gas-fired power plant is an act of self-defense and international solidarity with all those who protect the earth and life.“

In their letter, the authors also reveal the perpetrator's knowledge by describing details of the attack: The cable bridge from the Lichterfelde power plant over the Teltow Canal „we set fire to it on the side of the green spaces“, they say. „We also short-circuited the braised cable strands with steel rods lying around.“

The group soberly reports: „There were power outages in the wealthier districts of Wannsee, Zehlendorf and Nikolassee.“ However, she presents this as collateral damage: „Power outages were not the target of the action, but the fossil energy industry. We apologize to the less wealthy people in southwest Berlin. With the many villa owners in these parts of the city, our sympathy is limited.“

A prolonged power outage in private households was „neither intended nor calculated“, the group writes. „The multi-secured energy grid will reconnect households to the extensive power grid in a very short time via other energy lines.“ In fact, the operator Stromnetz Berlin expects that supplies in the districts of Nikolassee, Zehlendorf and Wannsee will be interrupted until Thursday.

The volcano group, on the other hand, talks about „chain reactions that are not our area of responsibility“ and gives those affected a few more pieces of advice: „Ring your neighbor's doorbell. Keep in mind to provide assistance to the elderly or those in need of assistance in the event of a power failure. Provide for yourself and other people by giving solidarity support. Find out more among yourselves.“

In addition, the authors of the letter of confession claim: „We have ruled out any risk to human life at any time.“

Who is the volcanic group?
The left-wing extremist group is said to have been founded in 2011, and since then arson attacks have been carried out repeatedly in Berlin and Brandenburg in the name of the „volcano group“. She is said to have attacked the power supply of the Tesla plant in Grünheide twice, in 2021 and 2024.

Whether she is also behind the attack that led to a major power outage in Adlershof in September 2025 has not yet been definitively clarified. However, investigators suspect a connection – and the new letter claiming responsibility also mentions the attack on the technology park. In previous attacks, cable shafts on railway lines were mostly chosen as targets. In some cases, the group damaged radio masts or data lines, and in some cases also company vehicles.

However, the current letter of confession makes reference to previous acts. It states: „The specific attacks on the Adlershof Technology Park, Tesla's Gigafactory, the infrastructure of the Vattenfall Reuter coal-fired power plant, and the Vodafone hub in Adlershof are reference points for our action, as are the many militant actions that set an example against the destruction of our Earth.“ What's clear is that the power lines, pylons, and hubs are all freely accessible online. Anyone who wants to carry out an attack can easily get information about the locations of the power grid – and who it affects.

The Berlin Office for the Protection of the Constitution classifies the group as belonging to the anarchist spectrum. Meanwhile, it is completely unclear how the left-wing extremists are composed, how many they are and how they organize themselves. All we hear from the intelligence service is that in at least eight cases the texts of the letters claiming responsibility of the past years are so similar in structure, style and content that the authority assumes a „(partially) identical circle of authors“.

Protest against the expansion of AI
In their current letter, the group castigates a „greed for energy“ that is destroying natural livelihoods through global warming. „Entire regions are rendered uninhabitable under the heat“, it is said. „The extent of this devastation is simply hidden, abstracted, and discussed in global climate conferences until the extent of the destruction disappears into tables and memorandums of understanding.“

In particular, left-wing extremists criticize the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) – because of the high energy demand and social dangers. „We operate our own surveillance and it is total“, they write. „Tech companies are in the hands of men of the power we give them.“ And: „One day we will simply die of thirst and starvation sitting in front of the glowing screens or the dead devices.“

The Lichterfelde power plant and the expansion of the electricity grid, both of which have since been remunicipalized following a referendum in 2013, view the volcanic group as a symbol of unbridled energy hunger. „The aim of the action is to cause great damage to the gas industry and the greed for energy“, the claim states. We are talking about a „growth mania“ and the city as a „battlefield“ in the competition between the metropolises.

The establishment of start-ups, defense companies and other tech companies only increases energy consumption, electromobility is more about private transport than public transport, and there is talk of an energy transition „window wiping“. Personally, the left-wing extremists also criticize Economics Senator Franziska Giffey (SPD) for this development. Their attack was directed against a national company, which they consider a central player. „With Stromnetz Berlin, it has hit a building block of this catastrophic vision of a smart city.“

There's a thread about it here. You may be wondering how they shut off the power without killing themselves.
Steel chains were also wrapped around the cable insulation sheaths to cause a short circuit once they had melted in the flames. These two pylons are located at the end of the overhead line, where electricity passes from the air to the underground route.

I think like 90% of the best the old world had to offer went to the new world to make their fortune.

All that remained back there are limp dicked, useless pussies. Idk maybe there's some stragglers.
